The use of the Blitzkreig against the Russians in WW2 was extremly effective. I don't for one moment suggest the Russians drew the Germans on into Russia just so they could counter attack after Stalingrad. But the fact remains the Russians best generals were General January & General February. They were better at surviving in the winter & were better equipped than the Germans. The T34 tank was at least as good as any tank in the war. The KV1 & KV 2 were effective against the Panther & Tiger tanks the Germans had. Most of all the Russians had resources which the Germans could not get to because of the depth of defence. Principally the Russians benefit from absorbing the Germans after years of retreat, and having masses of men that they can conscript. I don't think Stalin did create a better Military Force, neither better than the Germans or the Allies that arrived to the River Elbe in 1945. Hitler was defeated, at great cost, particularly in Russia, because of his own Military incompetance. Had Hitler been prepared to listen to the generals his single mindedness denied then the course of History would be different, but how different is another story..........

When and why did the draf for the military stop?

The draft for the military in the United States ended in 1973, transitioning to an all-volunteer force. This change followed widespread anti-war sentiment during the Vietnam War, which fueled protests against conscription. The government sought to create a more professional military, believing a volunteer force would be more effective and better motivated. The last draft lottery was held in 1972, and the final draftees were called up in 1973.
